About Fortress of Hope ...
We are about fortifying the lives that have experienced the trauma of having someone they love enter the legal and penal system. We build one another up in the truth of the gospel message and learn how to apply these truths to our lives as families of prisoners.
From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is filled with testimonies of how the Lord used prisoners, murderers, womanizers, liars, cheaters, thieves, and corrupt judicial systems to advance His Kingdom. From this foundation, we have hope in the Lord for our lives and the lives of our incarcerated loved ones!
We share these biblical truths in all of our courses in the membership area, plus how to practically apply them to your life to experience the goodness of God in the land of the living.
